Module 3 Reflection

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students' learning in the following ways:

The classroom can be opened as often as Wal-Mart (on Atlana Highway 0f course). Through web pages, chatrooms, and other useful interactive tools, students and parents are able to communicate with teachers and peers on a consistent real time basis. A coumputer is in almost every home, and almost every student knows how to navigate through the Internet. Students can turn-in assignments, check homework, complete group projects, virtually visit the library, and many other things. In addition, the Internet makes learning fun by painting pictures and linking children to distant worlds. It is a resourceful tool for teachers as well, opening up lecture time and eliminating the 50 to 90 minute window.
